USED FIRE GEAR AVAILABLE

We have been made aware of some firefighter gear that is available. The Rocky Hill, CT FD recently purchased complete sets of turnout gear for their members and have approximately 24 sets of used coats and pants in good condition that they are willing to donate to any department that is in need and could use them. Color is tan with reflective striping and manufactured by Globe.

If you could provide this information to the VT and New Hampshire departments that might be able to use them, it would be appreciated. They can then contact me and I will provide them with the contact information.
